Sam Hyde
To me, there is nobody more influential to outsider comedy than Sam Hyde. It's off-beat, dry, and entirely confusing to normal people. I've been a fan of his since World Peace came out, and think just about everything hes made has been a work of art. World Peace, KickstarterTV, Fish Tank. He cannot miss when it comes to off the wall comedy.
His advice also rings a bell with me since i'm incapable of functioning in the real world. So hearing him discuss the seemingly overdone talking points doesn't cease to entertain me.
